Matchekewis

Matchekewis was a tribal leader of the Ojibwe people. His people came from Michigan, and his people migrated to avoid pioneer expansion. In 1763, he took part in Pontiac's Rebellion against Great Britain, but he later allied with the British during the American Revolutionary War. In 1780, his men attacked St. Louis, Missouri, a Spanish fort; his forces were pushed back by Spanish Army gunpowder weapons. At the Treaty of Greenville, he was forced to cede all of his lands to the United States.
